Comments:
Instead of my usual low power struggle to 100 I decided to do a high power 
struggle to 200. Max. power was about 400 watts, as the antenna is rated at 
500 for 160m. The last time I tried high power at home was 1998.

This was easily my best 160m result, and a lot more fun, with some new
states 
and a few "real" DX stations, although several were still just out of reach.
New ones were the UA0 and VP9. I couldn't stay up past 2am Saturday, but
managed 
to hang in there all night the second day. I'll pay for that later. 

The bottom line: My visit to the dentist Monday morning will be the first
time 
a root canal is expected to be more painful than my latest 160m contest.
